An I Ching cycles with
Ancestral depth
Released: November 1, 2021
Program Notes:
From the Composer:
RB: "When I complete a recording, I burn a disk and listen to it in the car for weeks. This one kept my interest for a long time."
"The Vortex Breathing is a work designed as a meditation. It is unusual for me because it cycles the I Ching in a downward spin. Going slower and slower. It is designed to help focus on the breath with three long breaths in then five shorter breaths out. Slower and slower longer and longer." It's an exercise to clear your mind and open up to only the most positive, loving and happy thought. The idea is clear ones mind of negativity and allow the positive to fill life."
This composition is an I Ching cycle work for rapper, low voice, trombone, tape, tenor drum, and bass drum.
Performed by rapper Alter Ego Marie Ork with the composer on trombone, singing and computer generated sounds.
The really important part for the I Ching Chants is that it presents a concise view of Richard Burdick's new interpretation of the symbolism and meanings of the I Ching in six syllable phrases. This is An original musical composition that honors the composers roots in North America and incorporates his views on the meaning of the I Ching in a unique way.
Abraham Hicks Publishing was contacted to confirm an allowance to use their Idea of "Vortex Breathing."
